The Australian public can have, and is having, a real and lasting impact on victims of Joseph Kony and the Lord’s Resistance Army, which has terrorised millions of people across four vulnerable African nations.

Hundreds of thousands of people remain displaced in northern Congo, northern Uganda, Central African Republic and South Sudan.

Over nearly three decades the LRA has been responsible for horrific acts of cowardice and brutality, including the abduction of young girls and boys to work as sex slaves and soldiers, and forcing children to kill their own families.
